Protecting and Growing Self and Wealth in These Uncertain Times

Economist, financial broker/dealer, and author Peter Schiff was interviewed by Kitco News Editor-In-Chief Daniela Cambone last Friday out at FreedomFest in Las Vegas. Schiff, who correctly-called last decade’s housing crash and the global economic crisis, believes gold is entering a new phase in a secular bull market that began back around the turn of the millennium. He told viewers:

I think gold is not only going to re-test the highs from 2011 when it was close to $1,900, but it’s going to surpass those highs and move into much higher territory…

I think this is a new leg of the gold bull market. I mean gold’s been in a secular bull market since 2000, 1999-2000. We had a cyclical bear market that I believe ended with the Fed hiked rates in December. And now we have the new leg of the bull market, which I think potentially could be an even bigger leg than the first leg, which saw gold go from sub-$300 to close to $2,000. So if this leg is bigger than that, you can just imagine how high the price might go.

It is the sound of safe deposit boxes in security vaults across […]

I’ve had India on my mind recently. In particular, I’ve been thinking about the country’s safe deposit box industry in light of the ongoing “currency experiment.” Vikram Doctor over at The Economic Times (India) has also been speculating as to what the blitzkrieg on cash means for safe deposit boxes, publishing a piece entitled “Crackdown […]
